the food steamer will switch off,
the ‘HEATING’ light will go out and
a bell will sound.
12. Dismantle the steamer baskets to
remove the cooked food, taking
care as lid, steamer baskets, layer
support rings, steam and water
condensation will be very hot.
Allow the steamer base and liquid
collection container to cool before
dismantling and discarding liquid.
NOTE: When inserting the lid into
position on a steamer basket
ensure the three steam holes on
the lid face towards the rear of
the food steamer.
8
KFS300_IB_FA.indd 8
11/02/10 11:14 AM
CAUTION: Always take
care when lifting the
lid, steamer baskets
and liquid collection
container, as steam and
water condensation can
cause scalding. Always
lift the lid away from you
when removing from
steamer basket to avoid
steam escaping from
under the lid. Always
allow the steamer base
and liquid collection
container to cool
before dismantling and
discarding liquid.
NOTE: Denser foods or foods
that take longer to cook should
be placed in the lower steamer
basket as this gets a higher
concentration of steam. However,
foods such as meat or chicken
should be placed on the lower
steamer basket to avoid juices
dripping onto foods below.
13. Switch off at the power outlet
and unplug the power cord.
The ‘POWER’ light will go out.
Allow the Kambrook Essentials
Food Steamer base and liquid
collection container to cool down
before dismantling and cleaning.

Care, Cleaning and Storage
Maintaining Your Kambrook
Essentials Food Steamer
Always switch the power off at the
power outlet and unplug the power
cord of the food steamer and
allow the steamer base and liquid
collection container to cool down
before disassembling and cleaning.
Wash the lid, steamer baskets, layer
support rings, rice/sauce cooking
bowl, egg cooking tray, liquid
collection container and element
protection cover in warm soapy water,
rinse and dry thoroughly.
Discard the remaining water in the
water reservoir and wipe the interior
and exterior of the steamer base with
a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Do not place any part of the
steamer, including steamer baskets,
egg ring, lid and rice/sauce cooking
bowl, in a dishwasher.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel
wool or scouring pads as these can
damage the surface of the steamer
and the element.
Mineral deposits may accumulate
on the heating element. It is
recommended to descale the
steamer regularly to prolong the life of
your appliance.
Prepare a de-scaling solution by mixing
2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of
lemon juice or white vinegar.
Pour the de-scaling solution into
the water reservoir; insert the liquid
collection container then a steamer
basket with lid on top. Turn the timer
dial to approximately 15 minutes and
allow steam to circulate. Allow the
steamer and liquid to cool before
dismantling for cleaning. If excess
scale build-up still remains, repeat
the process.
NOTE: If food with strong
odour, such as fish has been
steamed, the above procedure
can be followed with steamer
baskets and rice/sauce cooking
bowl in position to ensure the
odour is not transferred to the
next steaming.
CAUTION: Do not
immerse steamer base,
power cord or power
plug in water or any
other liquid as this may
cause electrocution.
CAUTION: To prevent
damage to the
appliance, do not
use alkaline cleaning
agents when cleaning,
use a soft cloth and a
mild detergent.

Eggs
For Poached Eggs
The following are some handy
guidelines when cooking eggs in the
Kambrook Essentials Food Steamer.
The steamer is ideal for steaming,
poaching and scrambling eggs.
Eggs should be cracked into individual
sized heat proof dishes containing a
little water then placed into a steamer
basket for poaching.
For Cooking Eggs In
The Shell
Use the egg cooking tray for the same
results as boiled eggs in the shell. Eggs
must be pierced once through the
top or base of the egg shell with a
pin or skewer before cooking. Place
eggs onto egg cooking tray with the
pierced end facing upwards.
For Scrambled Eggs
Beat together eggs with a little milk
or cream then pour into rice/sauce
cooking bowl, place into a steamer
basket, cover with lid and steam for
suggested time, stirring once or twice
during cooking.
NOTE: Large eggs will require
slightly longer cooking times.
CAUTION: Do not
boil eggs in the water
reservoir.
